Lyrics and translation Peggy Lee - Chi-Baba, Chi-Baba (My Bambino Go to Sleep)
Many
a
year
ago
in
old
Sorrento
Il
y
a
bien
des
années
de
cela,
dans
le
vieux
Sorrente
A
certain
ditty
was
quite
the
thing
Une
certaine
chansonnette
était
très
à
la
mode
Whenever
a
mother
rocked
her
baby
in
Sorrento
Chaque
fois
qu'une
mère
berçait
son
bébé
à
Sorrente
This
little
ditty
she
used
to
sing:
Elle
chantait
cette
petite
chansonnette:
Chi-baba,
chi-baba,
chi-wawa
Chi-baba,
chi-baba,
chi-wawa
An'
chi-lawa
kook-a
la
goombah
Et
chi-lawa
kook-a
la
goombah
Chi-baba,

Chi-baba,

Mon
bambino

dormir!

are
in
the
skies
ready
to
say
"goodnight"
Toutes
les
étoiles
sont
dans
le
ciel,
prêtes
à

Can't
you
see
your
doll
is
sleepy,
too?
Tu
ne
vois
pas
que
ta
poupée
a
sommeil
aussi?
Close
your
drowsy
little
eyes,
mama
will
hold
you
tight
Ferme
tes
petits
yeux
endormis,
maman
te
tiendra
bien
serré
While
she
sings
a
lullaby
to
you:
Pendant
qu'elle
te
chante
une
berceuse:
Oh,
